Stanford, Calif.-Madeleine Ziegert recorded her best finish of the season as she shot a 72 in the final round of the Stanford Intercollegiate Sunday at the Stanford Golf Course. San Jose State finished 16th at 897 in a tournament that featured 14 top-50 teams on the par-71 course.

After a slow start to her final round with three bogeys in her first four holes played, Ziegert finished her round with three consecutive birdies and four in her final six holes. She ended the tournament at 2-under par, 211, to tie for 10th place, her highest placing of the season.

"Maddie had a great performance this weekend," said Spartan head coach John Dormann. "I am happy she finished in the top-10 and showed how good she can be against this quality field."

Megan Osland shot a 78 and finished 61st with a 223. Rachelle Reali shot an 81, and Tiffany Nichols had an 82 as both tied at 235. Jordanne Barr shot a 75 on the day. Kathleen Rojas, playing as an individual, shot an 83 to finish at 238.

"Our younger players also had the opportunity to play against some of the best players in the country," said Dormann. "I hope they were able to learn what it takes to be this successful and how hard they have to work to get there."
